WINE ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT IMPROVES WITH AGE.Many things get better with time. Leather is one of those things.

And while there's perhaps nothing better than that 'new leather' smell (evidenced by even car air freshener trees with the scent), there's nothing quite so lovely as leather that's been broken in over time with with a number of weathered lines, seasoned scratches and other various imperfections that serve as a visual testimony of 'been there, done that'. Cheers to a material reminder of being there and doing that. - Allié Merrick

From the Audio-Technica headphones that I entrust with my favorite playlists to the Nomad case I hold and harness my world of communication with, I love leather.

"We sought to create a family of leather cases that were both protective and elegant.To do so we rely on the heritage of one of America's oldest tanneries, the Horween Leather Co. of Chicago. Their renowned, unadulterated and vegetable tanned leather develops a patina over time, creating a handsome case with a character that is uniquely yours." - Nomad

Raise a glass to lovely leather that gets better with age in the palm of your hand. -AM
